What is my great wish and intention, is to make a base of compassion and to encourage people to work to shift the energy.

The principles of Buddhism have become more commonplace, which is a good thing.

Ultimately, as individuals we each have to ask ourselves to be courageous and apply certain principles.

You have people who are good at English but don't have the training in Buddhism or Shambhala, or they have the training but are not good in English. Getting that mixture is really rare.

People sometimes don't like organized situations. Sometimes people need to be left alone more. Sometimes people need environmental support.

I want people to know you can live a life that is less aggressive and still have success.

What is amazing is how stuck people are in their own habits. It is really hard to get people out of their habits. But once they shift, it also is amazing how rapid the progress can be.
